Showing microposts

Although we don’t yet have a way to create microposts through the web - that comes in “Manipulating microposts Section” - this won’t stop us from displaying them (and testing that display).

Rendering microposts

Our plan is to display the microposts for each user on their respective profile page, together with a running count of how many microposts they’ve made. As we’ll see, many of the ideas are similar to our work in “Showing all users Section” on showing all users.

Profile micropost tests

Because newly activated users get redirected to their profile pages, we already have a test that the profile page renders correctly. In this section, we’ll write a short integration test for some of the other elements on the profile page, including the work from this section.
